This package is an extended Magento CE 1.7.0.2.

is displayed on first admin user login. On completion of the form, caches are disabled and indices are refreshed.

A few useful and preconfigured modules are shipped with the distribution:
- German Language Pack
- FireGento_GermanSetup (for base settings and adjustments for the German market; will be called on form submit)
- FireGento_Pdf (to create better PDF invoices)
- DerModPro_BasePrice (for displaying the price per base unit, required in many cases according to German Laws)
- IntegerNet_Autoshipping (for displaying shipping costs in cart even when no shipping address is entered yet, see [this German blog entry](http://www.integer-net.de/magento-versandkostenvorschau-im-warenkorb-mit-integernet_autoshipping/))
- Phoenix_CashOnDelivery (Payment Method)
- Itabs_DebitPayment (Payment Method)
- Itabs_Invoice (Payment Method)
- IntegerNet_RemoveCustomerAccountLinks (for hiding unneeded links in customer account, see [this German blog entry](http://www.integer-net.de/benutzerkonto-magento-deaktivieren-von-menupunkten/))
- AvS_AdminNotificationAdvanced (for better handling of notifications, see [this German blog entry](http://www.avs-webentwicklung.de/nc/blog/artikel/magento-verbesserte-benachrichtigungen-im-admin-bereich.html))
- AvS_ScopeHint (to show conflicts in configuration, products and categories, see [this German blog entry](http://www.avs-webentwicklung.de/nc/blog/artikel/warnung-bei-ueberschriebenen-konfigurations-optionen-kostenloses-magento-modul.html))
- Treynolds_Qconfig (to provide a quick search for the system configuration)
- Ikonoshirt_CustomAdminNotifications (to allow integration of additional news feeds)

On top, some core modules are disabled which are not needed for typical German Shops:
- Mage_Usa
